Locals Gain OaTjr -n forward Pass riirtn f !np V:ifcI:illT ArtlvA. Superb use of the forward pass, liandled from Reynolds to Peare, coupled with a fumble or two, gave Ia Grande, the game Saturday when La Grande's 'second team and Elgin's first team fought it out on the Lin coln grounds. The final Bcore was 12 to 10, the Elgin scores being the to tal of two touchdowns from fumbles. Elgin scored in the first period when a fumbled forward pass was picked up and carried some 30 yards. Elgin failed to kick goal. The same thing was repeated soon after and in this way the game stood until La Grande forced Elgin back when she was , at tempting to carry put a ball from be hind her own goal. Soon after that, La Grande fell on the ball during a fum- La Grande did not gain through El gin's line at all, and In fact Elgin did little gaining except on flukes. ' La flrnnrtft had a forward dabs, from the quarter back to Peare on end that Elgin could not possibly break ' up and time after time these two pull ed off good gains. 'just before the end of the game they negotiated a simi lar pass but the ball rolled or rather flew across the line' preventing, a touchdown which resulted when Peare recovered from counting In the totals. "Aside from these, two men, Crawley at end, Huff In the line, Rush and Ralston at halves did especially good work for La Grande. . .. . " "Work for La Grande. ' While the game was slow at the be ginning it warmed up appreciably and clearly demonstrated that it is the new kind of football that will spell ' gains with light teams hereafter. El gin's line was strong and therein lay her chief asset, for the linemen tore through and stopped the halves al most at will. -; v. .'

V 8ept 30 to Oct 1L GEORGE JACOBS IX SOUTH LA GRANDE HOLDS DISTINCTION. Though So Aged, is Prompt in His De lfrery and Genial Always. " It Is doubtful if any town in Ore gon has an older clerk and delivery "boy" than La Grande has. Next Wed nesday George Jacobs will celebrate the anniversary of his seventy-fifth birthday, yet he Is and has been the delivery boy for Mr. Atkinson's store in South La Grande. He clerks about the place when there are no deliver; les to be made and when packages have to be hurried out for some wait ing housewife this , boy of a three quarter century behind him, rushes the order in fine shape. He is as prompt or prompter than many a younger boy and his , genial counte nance has come to be sofamillar in "Old Town" that the '"boy" is rapidly gaining distinction. While there are no statistics at hand it is a safe assertion to say that he is the, oldest personage In the deliv ery business in the state or no doubt the entire northwest .

Portland Will Have to be Gone Over Carefully Again to Verifj Count If La Grande and other . Eastern Oregon towns have to await official announcement of their population un til Portland has been completed, this city and others will have to -wait a considerable length of time. Accord ing to the Portland papers, that city will practically have to be recounted, and if this Is true It will be several monthB at the best before the count Is made known. A Portland paper says. Almost a complete recount of the city's population will be necessary because of discrepancies In the work of census enumerators. Instead of re maining a few days to check over the returns filed by the enumerators It has become apparent that Urban H. Hester, special agent of the census oureau, will be compelled to remain at least a month go'lng in detail over the work done in this city. ' ' Although the census enumerators in accepting the positions swore to obtain their information at first hand, It has become known that many ot them accepted names that were sent in by volunteer census takers and ad ded them to supplementary 'sheets without taking trouble to verify any of thenu Mr., Hester is not permitted to state the exact condition of - the census returns. He said, however, that it would be necessary for him to go in person to nearly every portion of the city. Had the enumerators verified every name sent In either during the volunteer census campaign, or by "oth er individuals, this work would be un necessary. It is said that the situation looks very serious for some of Jhe en umerators.' ... Mr. Hester, however, is Inclined to look with considerable leniency ; on the violation of the law of which any of them may be guilty, he says that no one outside the census bureau could realize what It meant to the enumer ating staff, to have thrust upon It dur ing the last two or three days a mass of 30,000 or more names.. ; While some of the names enumer ated .by careless census takers will likely be disproved, there are also- in dications that the same enumerators missed others who should nave . been counted. As a result the population of the city should be recorded as larger rather than smaller. . Dan Patch Day.

CLOSE ENTRIES EARLY. 3Iuna?rr Explain DftaJU of Spo kane Apple Show Rules. , Spokane, Wash., Oct. 10 Special Official announcement was made to day by Ren. H. Rice, secretary and manager of the National Aprl9 Show. Uat entries in carload contests for 1-rizes aggregating $3,800 including the championship sweepstake of $1,000 will close In Spokane at 12 o'clock 1 noon on November 6. Entries In other contests for $16,200 In premiums will bo accepted up to 6 o'clock the after noon of November 9. Professor II. F. Van Deman and his assistants will begin Judging the morning of Nov ember 14, with a view to completing their work on November 8. "The rule requiring that each ex hibit, except district displays, must be of fruit grown on one orchard only. Is not open to broad construction," Mr. Rice added. "It means Just what it says. The 'reason for Inlsltlng that an exhibit shall be taken from one or chard Is . to make the competitions fair." It Is apparent that If a grower with a small tract were compelled to compete with an association or com pany, which would pick up boxes hre and there, he would be counted out before the scoring began. "Each carload exhibit must be ac companied by a sworn statement that the anolea ntrArt wmrm rKwra m tn orchard. In all other classes the exhl bltor pledges his word of honor to the same effect when he signs the entrr blank. ' ; "There are no restrictions as to the number of" orchards from which the fruit gathered for the district dis plays. However, these contests, -on fo fruit grown on irrigated land and the other on. non-Irrigated land, can not be entered by individuals. They are for collective dteplays exhibited by commercial clubs, associations, unions, "counties or districts." SANITARY BABNS.
